I was looking in the manual for information on what exactly the whole "sticky issues" concept is. Can anyone either point me to the section in the manual i need to read - or quickly explain to me 1) what it is, 2) why i want to use it , 3) anything else you feel is important?
I would really appreciate it. Thanks .
